Jewelry sizing and watch case guide

Match the length to how you wear it

For a chain, compare the length with a necklace you already wear at the same position. For a bracelet, ask whether the listed length includes the clasp and what adjustment or extension is available.

Check the watch case and strap

Compare case diameter, thickness and the distance from lug to lug with a watch that sits comfortably on your wrist. If you plan to swap the strap, ask for the width where the strap meets the case.

Ask for the base material and finish

Read the material specification separately from the color description. Request close photos of the clasp, back and edges, and ask the seller what kind of finish they used if the listing leaves it unclear.

What a 925 mark means on silver jewelry

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission explains 925 as 925 parts of pure silver per 1,000, or 92.5%. When a listing shows this mark, ask for a readable photo and identify where it appears. A close photo of the clasp tells you what is marked on the clasp, so ask separately about the chain, pendant or other parts.

Request the seller’s material description for the exact option and ask which parts are sterling silver and which have a silver-colored or silver-plated finish. Keep the material description with your order details. If the metal content is important to your purchase, ask the seller what documentation supports the claim.

Jewelry & Watches FAQ

Can I use a ring I already own to compare sizes?

Choose a ring that fits the same finger and measure its inside diameter. Compare that number with the seller’s chart, checking whether it lists diameter or circumference. A wide band can feel tighter than a narrow ring with the same listed size.

Can I swim with a watch labeled water resistant?

Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact model and rating. General water resistance can cover splashes without covering swimming. For a used watch, ask whether its seals and water resistance have been checked after any servicing.

How can I compare the weight of two pairs of earrings?

Ask for the weight per earring. Listings may give the combined weight of the pair. Compare the single-earring weight with a pair you already wear comfortably, especially when the new earrings are longer or hang farther from the lobe.
